I had an absolutely outstanding experience with Golden State Solar and I would recommend them to friends and family without hesitation! When I first inquired, Tim (the owner) reached out and scheduled a consultation/evaluation of my existing system for the following day. He arrived on time, was professional and very knowledgeable. He sent me over a couple different proposals that he believed would be best for me and my usage. I reached out to competing companies to test the market and one company found out that I was on a different NEM standard than we previously thought. This discovery made me second guess getting solar for the time being. I reached out to Tim and he said that he estimated I would still need to upgrade but that I could give it a few months to see how my energy bills were in the winter and early spring. To say he was right was an understatement! My bills went from $60 to over $300 some months. Now that I knew that adding to my system was worth it and had more information, I reached back out to Tim. He didn't miss a beat in suggesting a system that maximized my output and didn't break the bank. (Mind you, he spent hours going back and forth with me answering questions and concerns I had) Ultimately, I chose to go with Tim because of his expertise (he was an electrician prior to starting Golden State Solar), professionalism, customer service and honesty. He never pushed me to make a decision and gave me multiple options that he believed were best. The permit and installation process were painless and completed within a couple months (mostly waiting for the permit). The system drastically increased my solar output and I couldn't be more happy with my choice to go with Golden State Solar! read more

Tim, Nick, and their team installed our new system within just a few days. My home initially had only the bare minimum solar setup required for new builds, and Tim was able to seamlessly integrate the new panels with the existing ones, adding a battery in the process. Other companies I contacted said they couldn't work with my existing system, but Tim made it happen. The entire process, from consultation to installation was quick and straightforward. After installation, one panel showed as offline. The team promptly replaced the microinverter, but the system still wasn't performing optimally. They came back out and replaced the panel, ensuring everything was working as it should. Recently, I noticed an error with one of the microinverters on the app. I reached out to Tim, and he responded within a day to resolve the issue. read more

Tim / Golden State Solar were fantastic. We put in a solar system in summer last year. 100% satisfied with their work and the system. I went with SunPower. Enjoying the benefits of NEM 2.0. I havent really followed the news on NEM 3.0 -- but I was happy to be locked in. PG&E bill looks like it will be effectively $0.00. And we have an EV car that we charge at home from time to time. Thanks a million fellas. BR, Matt read more

I am very pleased with the work done at my house, the staff was very professional and Tim very responsive during the whole process. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for Solar Cleaning and Bird Proofing. Thank you again, Joe read more

We have had our system for over a year now, and we are still delighted. Tim is incredible. His attention to detail is beyond compare. Golden state uses top quality products and Tim walks you through every step of the way. Golden State Solar worked in conjunction with my roofer and was key to the entire project completing with out a hitch. read more

So glad that Tim contacted us regarding our solar panel cleaning! Nick and crew got working and quickly finished the task of cleaning our 15 panels in less than 30 minutes. Already seeing improved output! Nick also asked if there was any issues with the remote solar system monitoring, and he took care of that as well! Very appreciative of the after care since install (July 2019) that we've received. Also, looking forward to hearing if there are enhancements/improvements to try to stay ahead of the crazy energy costs forced onto consumers by PGE and PUC. Thanks again Tim and Nick!!! read more

I requested information through the Golden State Solar web page and was contacted in less than 30 minutes - on a Saturday! After a 25 minute phone call, I had all the information I needed from their sales consultant (proposal, quote, proposed schedule) - and I wasn't sold anything more than I needed. I cannot say enough good things about Tim and his entire crew. A shining example of why it pays to support your local business folk. Excellent work done promptly by total professionals and with great communication. Thank you Tim D. and the Golden State Solar family! read more

While getting quotes for solar for our home, we found many unprofessional and extremely corporate companies just looking to make a sale. Many of the companies we found were either subbing out the work or were very quiet about the quality of their panels and installers. Do not have the time to be checking lic #s and insurance credibility before they climb on our high roof. Tim and his team were OUTSTANDING. Educated in all aspects and honest. We had a very smooth process with Golden State and could not be happier with the final product. read more

Tim and his company do excellent work. I've hired him twice for jobs and will continue to do so. Quality work at a decent price

I called Tim @ Golden State Solar to see if he could help me with moving my solar inverter. A little back story is this It's a Solar City system ( Tesla now ) I reached out to Tesla a month ago to move the inverter A MONTH . Spoke to Tim on Wednesday and he was out the next day and completed the job in around 4 hours. Very professional and affordable as well. Thank you Golden State Solar we are very pleased with your work. They even cleaned my solar panels while they were on the roof at no added cost. Highly recommend them! read more

Golden State Solar - Cleaned our panels as a bonus ! - Solar Installation Near Me - Gilroy, California

had a small electrical job that needed to be done. Tim was responsive, scheduled a meeting, confirmed the previous evening regarding his timing, and showed up right on time. Tim definitely took precautions (Covid 19 time) by wearing a mask and making sure there was no contact (I miss the shaking hand days). Left the work area neat and clean. I would definitely recommend Tim for any project. read more

I recently bought my house and everything was going great until I found out my Microinverters were not communicating to my Envoy. I desperately called the recommended Service Installers from Enphase. I couldn't get anyone on the line. The original installers went out of business, so I reached out to Golden State Solar. Which I have seen bill board ads by my house. I called and like that, I had Tim out today to troubleshoot the issue. I was not home at the time, but my wife mentioned that he was very professional and a nice man. I gave him 5 stars because I felt my need was very important and he delivered. Thanks again for your business l. Will keep you in mind for future business. read more

Golden State is an awesome company to work with. I had another company install my solar system about 3 years ago and to my surprise they went out of business. My inverter stopped working so I called Tim and he said he would dispatch a crew to look at it. His crew was at my house when they said they would be and figured out what the exact problem was. They ran with the RMA process to get a new inverter and came back to install it once they received it. Integrity and fair pricing is what these folks are about. I regret not knowing of them when I had my system installed because I definitely would have used them. read more

They were wonderful. We had lost production from many of our panels and when we called the company that did our installation they had gone out of business. Tim fit us in the next day troubleshot our system and fixed it for a reasonable price. Additionally he spent extra time with us to explain clearly what had happened and showed us photos. We were so relieved to have it fixed. Very positive experience with Tim and Golden State. read more

Golden State Solar, a local and family owned business, recently completed our solar system installation. From start to finish we were impressed with professional approach and final project completion. The company responded quickly with a canvass and quote for a system. The quote was very reasonable. Communication was excellent and coordination with the City and PGE went well. This is a quality installation and clean up each day was exceptional. The system is performing efficiently and we know if we ever have any probelms- this company stands by it's work and can be trusted. Thanks again to Tim Dominguez and family for helping us be a solar owner. read more

We initially met Tim to help repair loose wood and dry rot on our outdoor stairs. It just so happened we also needed a handyman to come build a wall in our renovated apartment. Tim definitely came in handy and helped build a wall in our apartment. Not only did he build a wall, he also mentioned other concerns, health and safety issues about the bathroom conditions. These were definitely concerns I had prior to moving in and I am very thankful that Tim did what he had to do to repair our bathroom structure. He is very knowledgeable and able to explain issues where it makes sense to someone like me - who has no clue about construction. While talking to Tim, he mentioned that Mike Holmes - Canada's most trusted contractor - was a personal hero of his and strives to be as great of a man as he is. I definitely have to say that Tim is very honest, true, driven, determined and hard at work. Both my boyfriend and I trust Tim and would definitely contact him if we needed him for structure repairs or electrical work. Like Mike Holmes, TIM IS GILROY'S MOST TRUSTED CONTRACTOR. :) Thanks Tim. We really appreciate it. read more

I have worked with Tim quite a few times now and his service is 2nd to none. Always shows up one time, nicely groomed, and a smile on his face. He cleans up after himself and can fix or build anything I have put at him. Another plus is he is licensed and insured. I also can't believe how reasonable his prices are for such high quality work. Thanks Tim!!! read more

Much like everyone else has stated before, we couldn't be happier with the process of getting our system installed by Tim and his team! We did a fairly comprehensive search, but Golden State hit all of the right marks for us, and their timeline lined up perfectly with ours as well. He was also VERY transparent, thorough, and quick to communicate throughout the process. The only delay we saw was related to permits being issued by the city, which is no surprise, but even that was still relatively quick, and he was on top of making sure we were consistently informed. Again, we can't emphasize how happy we are with everything about how Tim operates, from first contact to final service switch on and we strongly encourage others to consider Golden State if looking to get solar installed! read more

We just upgrade our electrical panel for our new hot tub. Tim, from Golden State Solar was awesome! He did a huge amount of work in just 2 days! Nicest guy and he brought his son to assist, they both worked non-stop in 90* weather! We couldn't be more pleased that we chose Golden State Solar! In the future, if we ever need any electrical work again, I wouldn't hesitate to call him! Very professional and personable. read more

Tim was professional, worked steadily with the planning department for permitting and completed the project within given time schedule. The rewards of our system are clearly seen in the reduction of monthly invoices from PG&E. read more

I recently asked for bids to install solar on my home and I had many sales people contact me and give me quotes what impressed me the most was that Golden State Solar owner Tim Dominguez contacted me In person and submitted his bid himself he had the best price and I got a higher energy system than the others had quoted. They just completed the project this week working around our recent rains and I would recommend golden state solar to any one their work ethic is perfect the job they did is first class Tim is a honest and reliable businessman and I would highly recommended him to any one that is in the market for solar installation or electrical service. This is a 5 Star company with excellent personal read more

I've owned three solar systems in my homes over the years. So I know about different systems. I spoke to Tim over the phone and he came out to look at my new house and we discussed different types of panels, back up batteries, inverters and electrical panel upgrades. He was extremely friendly and professional. He was great in communicating the progress of the install. He also used to be an electrician with pg&e. So who better to have work on a home electrical solar system than a trained electrician. He cut me a deal on the electrical panel upgrade and was able to provide other electrical services on top of installing the system. His entire crew were also professional. He's also a great resource for recommending other contractors for other home projects. Highly recommend read more

Can't really say enough about Golden State Solar. From my first contact with Tim, the process of getting a system installed went smoothly. Tim and his crew were the best. I never had to worry whether the area was clean when they left. We did have some hiccups but Tim worked through them and delivered a great product. I would highly recommend Golden State Solar. read more

A Yelp 5 star rating means "Woohoo! As good as it gets!" Tim diagnosed and then repaired my faulty solar system. I previously hired a different contractor to install a solar system with a backup battery. After at least nine return trips to get things working correctly, the original contractor threw his arms in the air and declared that I was on my own and since he was unable to get the system working, there would be no warranty! (I will bash Green Wolf Energy under their banner). When I contacted SolarEdge I was referred to Tim at Golden State Solar. Tim set up our meeting, confirmed the night before, let me know he was on his way in the morning, and showed up on time. Tim had the right tools for the work; he was neat and tidy; he let me know Exactly what was needed and what all of it would cost. Tim ordered the necessary parts, kept me in the loop of shipping and called me as soon as they were in his shop. Tim again set a time to meet, confirmed the night before, let me know he was on his way in the morning, and showed up on time. I'm one of those 'look over your shoulder' kind of guys - I like to learn new things and see how things work. He replaced a burnt inverter and replaced lots of incorrect wiring from the battery to the main breakers. Even though I had to stand back a bit (six feet) and wear a mask, Tim encouraged my questions and explained each step as he performed his magic. Tim took the additional steps to properly program the battery usage. Prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable; three words you don't often find together in the same sentence. I would highly recommend Tim and Golden State Solar for any electrical project. Thank you. read more

Golden State did a terrific job for us. They were recommended to us by another customer who also spoke highly of Golden State Solar. Their Owner, Tim, was straight to the point as to their recommendations and timeline for completion, completing our project on time and within budget. Their bid was also very reasonable and better than the other company who looked at our job.They were also very punctual and thoughtful about keeping the job tidy and quiet during our installation. I think we were very fortunate to find this quality company and I have since recommended them to friends. Great job! Thanks so much. read more

Tim installed my 240V outlet. In and out in one hour. Neat job. Will highly recommend.

We just had our solar installation completed and we are very pleased with the results. Tim and his son were professional from start to finish. They came prepared for our initial meeting and answered our questions in a clear manner. Once we made the decision to go with Golden State Solar, Tim and his son were out within a few days to begin the job. Tim was in constant contact with us about the steps so there were no surprises. They were efficient and tidy and the job was completed in just a few days. I definitely recommend Golden State! read more

Tim did a great job on the gas line for our fireplace. We got fabulous service from start to finish. He did everything he said he would and more. He was right on time for the in home quote and the installation. The job was done professionally and no need to clean up after. He left my house as it looked when he came in. He was very knowledgeable about his work and friendly. Fabulous service! Reasonably priced. Very happy with our experience. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Thanks Tim!!! read more

I came home on a Saturday to a sprinkler system on my roof. My pool solar pipe had broken. After calling around and getting literally nowhere I called Golden State Solar and Tim answered, that's amazing in and of itself as usually there isn't anyone that will answer on the weekend. He is local and offered to come out and take a look. He was out in no time, super professional and knowledgeable. He was able to stabilize the situation and schedule a repair date for the beginning of the week. He also provided the benefit of replacing the pipes as my system is old and the repair in one place will not guarantee that it wont happen somewhere else. So grateful I called Golden State and received such professional and responsive service from Tim. read more

I found Tim at TD Construction several years ago and have used him on so many projects. Is there nothing this guy can't do? He is an awesome woodworker and an excellent electrician. I recently had him help me with a couple of home projects. First, I bought a chandelier that was wrong for the application that I bought it for, but Tim came to the rescue and modified it (you could never tell) to work. Yay, cause I love it and didn't want to return it. Then he put in a solar well pump for me. Perfect job, he is always reliable and does what he says he is going to do. And he is reasonable and fair. He is easy to work with - and he didn't even mind when my dog ate his work gloves, haha! I would highly recommend Tim to help you with all your remodel and home projects. read more

Tim is amazing. He can work on anything, does a great job, and has fair prices. I so appreciate having him in the neighborhood.

I have been debating upgrading the old tank water heater for quite a while with a new tankless one. Knowing the kind of quality of work that Tim has done in the past and his reputation for perfection I was not hesitant to use his services. The job was a little more challenging than expected having to move both water lines and natural gas to a more ideal location, while cleaning up the gross imperfections from the original work that was done on my 63 year old Eichler home. Tim handled this with ease and made sure it was not just right but perfect! Very impressed with the quality of work and attention to detail. I really appreciate the extra effort that went into my new tankless water heater job and how Tim put in the time until the project was complete and perfect. If you want someone to perform a "good" job then Tim is not the correct person but if you want someone to do a "great" job then Tim is your guy!! Thanks again. I'm loving all the hot water I can use now! read more
